Sweet Music

Lon & Derrek

Produced by  George Harrison

“HiYa” from the Secret Heart of Heaven.

An excited PR man called Lon and said, “You have to meet this woman!” Constance Blaine was performing with her “Medicine Band” at Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) Hospitals in LA, Nashville and Denver.

At her own expense, she sings and “rocks arms” to connect with souls. The lucky ones who have awakened remember Consti and her songs. Unbelievable and true. She has won many awards including the prestigious

National Jefferson Award for Public Service.

Lon interviewed about his Musical Theatre Show.

“The American Soviet Youth Orchestra World Tour”

The first classical cultural exchange between the countries initiated by President Reagan and Prime Minister Gorbachev. The PBS special “East Meets West in Music” a film about the project was the highest rated classical program on PBS ever. Produced recordings at Bolshoi Hall, Moscow, The Kennedy Center, Washington. D.C., The Lincoln Center, New York with Zubin Mehta, Leonid Nikolayev, Catherine Comet,and Leonard Slatkin conducting.Conceived, directed, developed, produced and funded.




Consti’s Story

I was riding alone one morning in the foothills of Colorado when from somewhere came the crystal clear inspiration that I must go into hospitals with a live band to sing, gently touch and bring a bit of joy toTraumatic Brain Injury patients!  This led to media observations, newspaper articles, speaking opportunities for action by insurance companies to respect                                                        the quality of life for these silent patients.  Eventually, I received the 9 Who Cares Award for Public Service from Denver’s ABC TV, the Golden Rule Public Service Award and the National Jefferson Award for Public Service in Washington D.C. What a ride!

1993-1994 Denver At The Apollo

Creative program using music, production, team cooperation and project management skills involving several hundred inner city youth per year.


OVERVIEW

Denver at the Apollo is a program for young people that utilizes entertainment as: an on-going educational activity, a creative outlet for the enhancement of self esteem and a resource for employment opportunity:income creation from new jobs, product sales and royalties.

Denver at the Apollo is an alternative to criminal behavior, gang membership and a source of hope to young people because it provides a disciplined, accountable and structured framework


HOW IT WORKS

STEP ONE • OUT-REACH

On-going auditions, "talent searches" are held at youth and community centers, churches,


STEP TWO • QUALIFICATION

All the participants supply information which is evaluated so that individual needs are defined. A database of government agencies, service organizations and assistance groups is utilized to find a place for each individual in need of assistance, focus or direction. All the performers are


STEP THREE • DEMONSTRATION

The essence of credibility to the youth involved in the Denver at the Apollo program is to create a demonstration of the results at the highest level. Therefore, the inaugural performance of Denver at the Apollo will be the production of a Musical Variety Show at Paramount Theatre on Saturday, MAY 7, 1994. The performance will be taped for a television awards special directed by Michael Klein of the Colorado Film Commission. A companion recording of the show will be produced and released on Video, CD and Cassette and artists will be signed to release individual recordings and videos as part of the marketing of the new "Mile-Hi Sound.
